Le pire du Copyright Madness 2013 : une année de propriété intellectuelle en délire ! Shia Labeouf Brilliantly Parodies Intellectual Property With Plagiarized Apologies And Defense Of Plagiarism. I'll admit that, other than knowing his name and that he was a Hollywood actor in some big budget films, I didn't know very much at all about Shia LaBeouf.
However, apparently he's been facing some "controversy" over a few different examples of plagiarism in his work, with the "biggest" being plagiarizing a cartoon by Daniel Clowes called Justin M. Damiano with the short film HowardCantour.com. Others also pointed out that, in a comic book created by LaBeouf, he apparently plagiarized a bunch of others, including Kurt Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski (if you're going to plagiarize, plagiarize from the best, apparently).

Conan Doyle Estate: Denying Sherlock Holmes Copyright Gives Him 'Multiple Personalities' "Elementary" The estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has finally answered a lawsuit brought by Leslie Klinger, an author, editor and Sherlock Holmes expert who is attempting to demonstrate that the copyright has expired on major story elements of the famous detective.
Klinger sued in February and wants an order that enjoins the Doyle estate from further asserting certain rights. Throughout the years, there have been many versions of Sherlock Holmes, including Warner Bros.' two recent films starring Robert Downey Jr. and CBS' Elementary, which gives a modern take on the character. Klinger worked on the book, In the Company of Sherlock Holmes, and, in the course of doing so, was contacted by agents for the Doyle estate who asserted a license was needed.

Journalists hit with criminal complaint for publishing name of pirate site. It's no secret that publishers and other copyright holders have been doing all they can to combat peer-to-peer sharing online.
They've gone after the consumers and hosts who engage in online piracy. But recently, a group of German publishers tried to extend the definition of copyright infringement to an unheard of level, taking steps to criminally prosecute two separate periodicals that mentioned the name of a pirate site in a recent article.

Bizarre Tribe: Access Denied » Bizarre Tribe: Access Denied (An Open Letter to Sony) Copyright in the Digital Era: Building Evidence for Policy. Over the course of several decades, copyright protection has been expanded and extended through legislative changes occasioned by national and international developments. The content and technology industries affected by copyright and its exceptions, and in some cases balancing the two, have become increasingly important as sources of economic growth, relatively high-paying jobs, and exports. Since the expansion of digital technology in the mid-1990s, they have undergone a technological revolution that has disrupted long-established modes of creating, distributing, and using works ranging from literature and news to film and music to scientific publications and computer software. Copyright in the Digital Era: Building Evidence for Policy examines a range of questions regarding copyright policy by using a variety of methods, such as case studies, international and sectoral comparisons, and experiments and surveys.
Universal a les pleins pouvoirs de censure sur YouTube. Le mois dernier, le Conseil National du Numérique (CNNum) expliquait que certains acteurs devenus incontournables sur Internet avaient un tel poids que leur usage "relève presque du service public". Cette remarque en apparence anodine, en marge d'un rapport sur la neutralité du net, est lourde de sens. Elle implique que certains services privés ont une responsabilité sociétale qui dépasse leur propre liberté, notamment contractuelle. Belgian Chocolate Makers Seek Copyright Protection From Rivals. By Philip Blenkinsop BRUSSELS, March 27 (Reuters) - Belgian chocolate makers believe their renowned pralines should have similar protection to that enjoyed by French champagne or Italy's Parma ham. They want the term "Belgian chocolate" to be their exclusive preserve and also want to crack down on foreign rivals dressing up their products as "Belgian style" or of a "Belgian recipe".
Copycats, they say, eat into sales and undermine a stamp of quality built up over the century since Jean Neuhaus invented the hard-shelled, cream-filled chocolate, the praline, in 1912.

Prince George’s considers copyright policy that takes ownership of students’ work. “There is something inherently wrong with that,” David Cahn, an education activist who regularly attends county school board meetings, said before the board’s vote to consider the policy. “There are better ways to do this than to take away a person’s rights.” If the policy is approved, the county would become the only jurisdiction in the Washington region where the school board assumes ownership of work done by the school system’s staff and students.

Upcoming Changes to Public Access Policy Reporting Requirements and Related NIH Efforts to Enhance Compliance. Morandini condamné à verser 50 000 euros au "Point" Parce que l'information sur Internet a pris des allures de Far West, parce qu'elle oblige les titres de presse à d'importants efforts financiers, parce qu'elle ne peut être une zone de non-droit où prospèrent les parasites, Le Point a fait condamner Jean-Marc Morandini pour concurrence déloyale. La cour d'appel de Paris, dans un arrêt du 9 novembre 2012 qui fera jurisprudence, nous a attribué forfaitairement la somme de 50 000 euros à titre de dommages et intérêts. Une somme suffisamment importante pour que cesse le pillage quasi systématique des informations que la rédaction du Point publie dans sa version hebdomadaire et sur son site internet.
Depuis la création de la rubrique Média 2.0 par Le Point.fr en 2006, Jean-Marc Morandini se servait sans vergogne dans nos informations pour les reprendre, parfois intégralement, sur son site internet, alimentant ainsi à peu de frais son petit business.
